World Sports · 08:21:03 - Sunday, 1 November 2026

Former Australia opener David Warner's bold prediction for the fifth day of the third Test against South Africa has backfired spectacularly, with the Proteas now on the verge of clinching the series.

Warner had forecast an Australian victory with teammate Marnus Labuschagne scoring a century and remaining not out. However, South Africa's strong performance has put them in a commanding position, leaving Warner's prediction in tatters.

The third Test, part of a closely contested series, has seen South Africa dominate proceedings, putting Australia under immense pressure. With the match heading towards a conclusion, the tourists are poised to secure a memorable series triumph.
